MS Juvenile Tobacco Access Prevention Act; amend to prohibit the sale of tobacco or tobacco products to those under age 21.

SB 2691 raises Mississippi's minimum age for purchasing tobacco products from 18 to 21. It prohibits retailers from selling tobacco to anyone under 21, requiring them to check government-issued ID before each sale and imposing fines for violations (starting at $50 for first offenses). The law also mandates clear point-of-sale warning signs stating "STATE LAW PROHIBITS SALE TO PERSONS UNDER 21" and bans tobacco sales via vending machines unless access is restricted to those 21+ or accompanied by an adult. This law directly affects retailers who sell tobacco and minors attempting to purchase it, taking effect after Governor approval on March 12, 2025.
